An all-around damn good movie. Visually, it's as good as it gets.
It's my second time watching the movie, and I've had a complete reversal on my reaction to the music. It had seemed so completely wrong. It is wrong, for the first half of the movie - and by the time it starts to fit, I had already rejected it. But on the second viewing, the effect has changed so much it's like a different score. Watching that first half of the movie knowing that the title character is on his way - knowing the character and how Welles plays him - the score is absolutely perfect. It's hard to imagine the movie with a traditional mystery/crime score. It would still be a great movie that way, but... I don't know. Maybe Welles' performance wouldn't seem so great without that music to prepare you for him.
